Does ImBen actually contribute anything positive to the forum?

wasn't really that over the line. B00T called him a mildly insulting name, someone reported it, I edited out the mildly insulting name to "nice person"

Someone reported that?

Looks like I have a secret admirer. I wonder if he has dimples.

I really don't agree with almost all the stuff Golden Bears has said. But to each his own. The only thing that really matters is the number you're getting. I could care less where I get it.

^^ Exactly, but it's almost impossible to beat MB on any site.

Technically, every game trades at 0 juice once you get a lot of liquidity.

whereas at a normal book it'll be -110 for one team and -110 for the other, at MB it approaches -100 / -100 the more money goes down. Of course, usually one team is slightly more favored on a given line so you see like -103/+103 etc.

On average, I got like 1 or 2 points of juice but that was during BBall season with no liquidity. for FB it will average 1 point of juice and 2 points of commission which basically means you're playing at -103 which is better than anything else out there by a long shot.

If you are a professional bettor betting less than 5k-10k a game, Matchbook > everything.

There's really no way to argue it unless you prefer a different exchange or can't do math.

Other books might prove worthwhile to bonus hunters and small recreational bettors looking to bet a less than 50 bucks a game, or people who gamble for fun, but if you are serious, you really can't play anywhere other than MB + a standard book to lay bets that MB doesn't offer.

you have a lot to learn if you think matchbook offers the best number all the time

I am not sure if you are shilling for matchbook or you are just massively misinformed. But, your information is simply incorrect. Matchbook's lines are beaten by pinny regularly and by the square books constantly. Heck, right now, Dodgers -1.5 are slightly cheaper on pinny versus matchbook. Only a complete square would only play matchbook for all their bets.

Only a complete square would wait right until the very last minute to throw in her bet. Before that you'll be fine finding better lines elsewhere. Come game time, matchbook is a good choice, not a single outstanding one though.

He's probably one of those lazy squares that shops at Wal-Mart because they have approximately the lowest price on everything. Sharps like us spend an entire afternoon driving around to every drug store, grocery store, flea market and garage sale within 30 miles to save a cool 15 cents on a tube of toothpaste. We get the best of it!

He's such a donkey he probably doesn't even have a fraudulent Pinnacle account. What an idiot, huh?
